International Trade Administration September 20, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is currently conducting a changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty order on brake rotors from the People's Republic of China (``PRC''). We have preliminarily determined that Shandong Huanri Group Co., Ltd. (``Huanri Group'') is the successor-in-interest to Shandong Huanri Group General Company (``Huanri Group General'') for purposes of determining antidumping liability. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. The Department will issue the final results of this antidumping duty changed circumstances review not later than November 7, 2005, as the Department plans to issue the final results of this changed circumstance review at the same time as the final results of the concurrent administrative review.

On August 26, 2005, in Elkem Metals Company and Globe Metallurgical Inc. v. United States, Slip Op. 05-109 (Elkem Metals III), the Court of International Trade (CIT) affirmed the Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Remand (Remand Results II) released by the Department of Commerce (the Department), on March 16, 2005. Consistent with the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) in Timken Co. v. United States, 893 F.2d 337 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (Timken), the Department will continue to order the suspension of liquidation of the subject merchandise, where appropriate, until there is a ``conclusive'' decision in this case. If the case is not appealed, or if it is affirmed on appeal, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate all relevant entries from Rima Industrial, S.A. (Rima), as appropriate.
